About the Role:
A Technical Product Owner (TPO) is an Agile-side product leader who owns the backlog for a development squad while bringing enough engineering depth to shape architecture decisions, manage technical debt, and translate product strategy into build-ready user stories. Acting as the bridge between business stakeholders and developers, the TPO maximizes customer value by prioritizing features, driving sprint goals, and validating that each release meets functional, performance, and security standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Break down epics into clear, testable stories with acceptance criteria
• Groom backlog and prioritize features, tech debt, and enablers
• Define technical specs (APIs, NFRs); align architecture with business goals
• Lead sprint planning, clarify scope, and validate delivery against Definition of Done
• Coordinate releases with DevOps, CI/CD, and feature flags
• Use analytics and customer feedback to guide backlog reprioritization
• Communicate scope, risks, and trade-offs across teams and stakeholders
• Ensure compliance (e.g., GDPR, SOC 2) and maintain audit-ready records
• Apply WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) and PDM (Precedence Diagramming Method) to structure work and map dependencies
• Lead retrospectives and drive process/tooling improvements

About you:

• Pursuing or recently completed Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, tech-focused Product Management MBA, or a related field.
• You slice epics into crisp user stories, groom backlogs in Jira/Azure DevOps, and keep squads sprinting toward goals without blockers.
• From APIs to data stores, non-functional requirements, and the trade-offs around scalability or technical debt, you speak the entire stack— leading confident conversations with architects, giving developers precise direction, and flagging risks early.
• You absorb founders' big-picture goals, map them to concrete roadmaps, and rally engineering to deliver features that advance the company's strategy.
• You take initiative to align the team, ignite momentum, and communicate actively so everyone—from developers to execs—moves in lockstep.
• You monitor analytics, performance metrics, and A/B or canary tests and then re-prioritize the backlog based on evidence.
• You turn deep technical details into business impact for product managers, designers, QA, exec sponsors, and customer-facing teams— keeping everyone aligned.
• Retrospectives, velocity digs, and tooling tweaks energize you to boost quality and speed.
• Clear communicator who thrives in fast-paced, multi-functional teams.

We believe exceptional talent often emerges from diverse paths. If you possess a profound curiosity, a genuine passion for continuous personal and professional growth, and a strong desire to apply your unique abilities to create significant impact within our team, we strongly encourage you to apply—even if your background doesn't align perfectly with every single qualification.
